4 II. PURPOSE The purpose of this Biomedical Waste Operating Plan is to provide guidance and describe requirements for the proper management of biomedical waste in our facility. Guidelines for management of biomedical waste are found in Chapter 64E-16, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.), and in section , Florida Statutes. III. TRAINING FOR PERSONNEL Biomedical waste training will be scheduled as required by paragraph 64E (2)(a), F.A.C. Training sessions will detail compliance with this operating plan and with Chapter 64E-16, F.A.C. Training sessions will include all of the following activities that are carried out in our facility: Definition and Identification of Biomedical Waste Segregation Storage Labeling Transport Procedure for Decontaminating Biomedical Waste Spills Contingency Plan for Emergency Transport Procedure for Containment Treatment Method Training for the activities that are carried out in our facility is outlined in Attachment A. Our facility must maintain records of employee training. These records will be kept (2) Training records will be kept for participants in all training sessions for a minimum of three (3) years and will be available for review by Department of Health (DOH) inspectors. An example of an attendance record is appended in Attachment B. IV. DEFINITION, IDENTIFICATION, AND SEGREGATION OF BIOMEDICAL WASTE Biomedical waste is any solid or liquid waste which may present a threat of infection to humans. Biomedical waste is further defined in subsection 64E (2), F.A.C. Items of sharps and non-sharps biomedical waste generated in this facility and the locations at which they are generated are: (3) If biomedical waste is in a liquid or semi-solid form and aerosol formation is minimal, the waste may be disposed into a sanitary sewer system or into another system approved to receive such waste by the Department of Environmental Protection or the DOH. 4
5 V. CONTAINMENT Red bags for containment of biomedical waste will comply with the required physical properties. Our red bags are manufactured by (4) Our documentation of red bag construction standards is kept (5) Working staff can quickly get red bags at (6) Sharps will be placed into sharps containers at the point of origin. Filled red bags and filled sharps containers will be sealed at the point of origin. Red bags, sharps containers, and outer containers of biomedical waste, when sealed, will not be reopened in this facility. Ruptured or leaking packages of biomedical waste will be placed into a larger container without disturbing the original seal. VI. LABELING All sealed biomedical waste red bags and sharps containers will be labeled with this facility s name and address prior to offsite transport. If a sealed red bag or sharps container is placed into a larger red bag prior to transport, placing the facility s name and address only on the exterior bag is sufficient. Outer containers must be labeled with our transporter s name, address, registration number, and 24-hour phone number. VII. STORAGE When sealed, red bags, sharps containers, and outer containers will be stored in areas that are restricted through the use of locks, signs, or location. The 30-day storage time period will commence when the first non-sharps item of biomedical waste is placed into a red bag or sharps container, or when a sharps container that contains only sharps is sealed. Indoor biomedical waste storage areas will be constructed of smooth, easily cleanable materials that are impervious to liquids. These areas will be regularly maintained in a sanitary condition. The storage area will be vermin/insect free. Outdoor storage areas also will be conspicuously marked with a six-inch international biological hazard symbol and will be secure from vandalism. Biomedical waste will be stored and restricted in the following manner: (7) 5
6 VIII. TRANSPORT We will negotiate for the transport of biomedical waste only with a DOH-registered company. If we contract with such a company, we will have on file the pick-up receipts provided to us for the last three (3) years. Transport for our facility is provided by: a. The following registered biomedical waste transporter: Company name (8) Address Phone Registration number Place pick-up receipts are kept OR b. An employee of this facility who works under the following guidelines: We will transport our own biomedical waste. For tracking purposes, we will maintain a log of all biomedical waste transported by any employee for the last three (3) years. The log will contain waste amounts, dates, and documentation that the waste was accepted by a permitted facility. Name of employee(s) who is(are) assigned transport duty: (9) Biomedical waste will be transported to: (10) IX. PROCEDURE FOR DECONTAMINATING BIOMEDICAL WASTE SPILLS (11) X.
